Any discussion about GNOME vs. KDE is sure to end in tears. It's basically impossible to discuss which of these two Free desktop environments is better than the other, mostly because they cater to different types of people, with different needs and expectatotions. As such, Bruce Byfield decided to look at the two platforms from a different perspective: if we consider their developmental processes, which of the two is most likely to be more successful in the coming years?

I'm pleased that the press if finally grasping (and more importantly: spreading) the idea behind the KDE4's development. Although GNOME still has many nice aces in it's sleeve (like GomeDo and AWN) it's already visible that KDE is gaining incredible momentum and is well prepared for the upcoming years.
